Damn. I just uninstalled Adobe Illustrator 2022 and 2023 a couple of weeks ago, and there's no way to get them back.

You should have a Graphics sub tab under Materials, but I can't verify that was available in AI '22 as it is in '24 (below) and '25.

The problem could also be document-specific.

Please close all documents
Quit Adobe Illustrator
Restart your computer, leaving all other applications closed
Launch Illustrator
Start a new document using the Web tab "Common" 1366 x 768 px preset.
Create a simple rectangle with default fill and stroke (white and black).
Go to Effect > 3D and Materials > Materials...
If the Graphics sub tab appears, click it; you should see your symbols. If it doesn't, click the plus button at the bottom of the materials list and choose Add as Single Graphic, which should then show your symbols.

If that process doesn't work, you might need to get Illustrator updated, as @Monika Gause suggested.

I have checked it out in that version and it was available, but I have a rather late version of 2022.
